I wanted to post this to the Redhat/Fedora BZ, but there doesn't appear to be an upstart entry for Fedora... My system is misbehaving right now because Xorg and upstart are fighting over tty1. My CPU load for Xorg is at 100%, and I see a stream of kernel log messages of the form Apr 4 11:11:12 huggy /sbin/mingetty[3342]: tty1: invalid character 0x93 in login name Apr 4 11:11:17 huggy init: tty1 main process (3342) terminated with status 1 Apr 4 11:11:17 huggy init: tty1 main process ended, respawning My tty configuration in /etc/event.d/ (via upstart-0.3.9-22.fc10.x86_64) looks like # tty1 - getty # # This service maintains a getty on tty1 from the point the system is # started until it is shut down again. start on stopped rc2 start on stopped rc3 start on stopped rc4 stop on runlevel 0 stop on runlevel 1 stop on runlevel 6 respawn exec /sbin/mingetty tty1 Is this correct? Shouldn't it be the case that the tty1 mingetty is squelched by either runlevel 5 or prefdm? In any case, my 'runlevel' command indicates that I am at runlevel 5, and the tty1 mingetty is still respawning... In a related topic, my TTY switching doesn't work (CTRL-ALT-Fn)... - C -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
